Nakai also comments that "this is only known by a cultivated plant in Buitenzorg Botanical Gardens (Section XII, B). It is said that it has been brought back from East-Java by
Prof. Dammerman, the seventh director of the garden, but its reality is suspectable. It is a tall, slender banana with black stem, narrow leaves (the length is six or seven times
longer than the breadth) with whitish but not pruinose undersurface, very white haired ovaries and brown haired fruits full of angular verrucose seeds."
